I’m an expert on the psychology of money. The purpose of the presentation is to demonstrate how exploring one’s financial life can lead to dramatic healing of other life issues. A most troubling relationship is the relationship with money. Financial lives are rarely talked about. When’s the last time you shared the details of your financial life at a social gathering? Given the importance of money in one’s life, doesn’t it make sense to explore your financial life? The presentation will help participants navigate rarely charted waters of their financial world. Working with money issues is one of the easiest ways to bring about psychological improvements. With the improvements in financial health comes improvements in emotional health.

The presentation consists of didactic and experiential experiences to expand awareness of how one’s financial life is not only a metaphor for the rest of one’s life, but also an area where deep seated shame is hidden. The following areas will be presented: The secrecy of money, the meaning of money, the connection between shame and one’s financial life, the different money personalities, using the financial life to further understand ourselves, family members, clients and treatment implications and strategies.

This is one of my favorites. Someone said over 500 years ago that you can not know what love is until you have learned what love is not. So how come it’s taking us so long to figure it out?! You’re not looking for love in the wrong places. Love is everywhere. Your definition of love, what you’re looking for, is what causes difficulties in relationships. When you stop looking for what love is not, you will find love! Discover what love really is so you’ll be looking for what you really want! You’ll come away from this experience with a different definition of love and how to find it in all of your relationships. Read more about this topic from my blog post titled, “What is Love?”

How To Talk and How To Listen – Effective Communication

I teach communication issues tailoring the talk to the group. So employers hear about better communication for the staff, parents hear about better communication with their kids and couples hear about better communication to build relationships. This is a fun one and applicable to any group.

This workshop explores how examining the financial and sexual parts of our lives can lead to dramatic change. Financial and sexual lives are rarely talked about, especially in psychotherapy. Given the importance of money and sex in one’s life, doesn’t it make sense to explore these areas? The presentation will help you navigate rarely charted waters.

The presentation will expand your awareness of how your financial and sexual life is often a metaphor for life itself and may point to areas where deep seated shame is hidden. These are areas where the search for meaning is full force. The following areas will be explored: The secrecy of sex and money, the meaning of sex and money, the connection between shame and one’s financial and sexual life, using financial and sexual beliefs and feelings to further understand one’s life.
